Anyone with kids knows that tots seem to be drawn to dangerous objects and potentially hazardous playthings. Turn your head, and small kids are checking out outlet plugs, cabinets with glassware, or even the kitchen knife drawer. Be sure to carefully evaluate whether your child's in-home provider has all the bases covered in terms of home safety; daycare centers should have a list or at least be able to provide detailed explanations of safety precautions and procedures. While you're at it, be sure to ask about drop-off and departure safety protocols and be sure you're comfortable with the answers given.
